Our throats are slit
And ear to ear the inspiration gushes out
Replaced by an anthem of fear
My life just falls apart

Strings sewn to our limbs
To force the hymns of war on beauty
So we won't wake up
The scars they leave
So parents grieve the death of freedom in their children

A soul for sale, it's cheap to buy
The merchants of death smile wide
Does anyone still even care?

My life just falls apart
